They went off the beaten track to Soltaniyeh, Yazd, and Mahan, looking at mosques. Geld- zahler proved to be an indefatigable sightseer c:lnd shopper in native bazaars. Geldzahler's energy and stamina in those days never failed to amaze his friends. How he managed to keep up with so many different people and places and events was a mystery to any- one who did not understand about the field situation. He would arrive late at openings and parties, stay for a little while, and then move on to other places, where everyone would be de- lighted to see him There always seemed to be more laughter in the room when he arrived, although later it was hard to remember just what he had said that was so funny. His wit was evanescent and ephemeral, like so much of the new art. Sometimes, though, when the at- mosphere of the field was just right, he could go beyond the bright one-liners and talk eloquently about a subject that interested him, and it would have sur- prised a number of Geldzahler's friends to know that the real focus of his life was the Metropolitan Museum. Al- though a few of the trustees and several of the curators there were offended by the publicIty he was getting, they found it nearly impossible to dislike him on personal grounds. Geldzahler was so warm and friendly, so thoroughly nice, that he disarmed criticism. Kay Bear- man, a Smith graduate who worked in the Metropolitan's slide library until Geldzahler brought her into the De- partment of American Paintings and Sculpture in 1961, feels that he has been a major influence on her life.

He took me every- where-to all the openings-and made a point of introducing me to all the right people" Later, when MIss Bear- man began to feel that she should strike out on her own, Geldzahler helped her to get a job working for Leo Castel1i; she is now back at the Metropolitan as an administrative assistant in Geldzah- ler's own department. Although Geld- zahler's specific duties at the Museum were a bit vague for several years, he did his work there conscientiously and efficiently. A few of hIs col1eagues used to find his efficiency somewhat trying. He could not bear any sort of wasted time or effort, and it annoyed people when he called them and said, "Let's see each other for ten minutes this after- noon" and they found that he meant precisely ten minutes and no longer. But one always ended by liking him. "He's a genius with people, at creating NOVEMDER b, '971 II /7--- No two figures are alike.
